Our study clarifies the relative importance of the gut, liver, and bile in the metabolism and excretion of quercetin and its conjugates. The pharmacokinetic model appears to be suitable for describing the absorption and disposition of the quercetin and its conjugates and may be applicable to other flavonoids that undergo similar pharmacokinetic pathways.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
